Aurora Borealis

[Paz]

 Due to recent solar activity which scientists are saying is at a peak for recent years, there is supposed to be a good chance for a huge display of the aurora Borealis even at lower latitudes.
 If you are interested, here are some of the places I visit occasionally:

Come to think of it, we've been having stormy weather since yesterday, so doubtfull if it will be clear

 A couple of years ago I was listening to my police scanner while I was lying in bed, there was a bunch of people calling the police reporting a strange green glow in the sky, it turned out to be quite a phenominal auroral display, probably the best I can ever remember seeing here in Lower Michigan.
 I would like to see another show like that one, I remember the sky changing from green to red to yellowish, and I never even stepped outside, just watched out the window, considering we live in town with all the streetlights and all, I can only imagine how brilliant it must had looked farther out in the country where there is less light pollution.
 At present we have broken clouds with a light hazy overcast, so I don't know if we will be able to see anything or not, if it occurs too late I will be sleeping anyways.
 I suppose I will just listen to my scanner when I go to bed, when the simple minded people start calling 911 reporting weird colors in the sky, I will know to get up and look out the window.

That might have been the same display that I saw a couple years ago. It was incredible. The whole sky was changing colors from Blue, green, red,& yellow.

Since it had been so long since I had seen the Northern Lights, I wasn't even sure what it was at the time so I didn't bother waking anyone up. I remember describing it to my family the next day, they weren't very happy with me
